The aeroplane played a small but significant role in India's transformation from colony to republic. Through the prism of aviation, both civil and military, this book traces the story of India's journey from the Second World War to the emergence of India as a sovereign state. Drawing on archives in India and the United Kingdom, untapped personal collections, and newspaper reports it points to the critical impact of aviation on the shaping of modern South Asia.
